Will throw Rockbridge Guitars http://rockbridgeguitar.com/index.html into the mix. They're made right here in Charlottesville and do some nice inlay....

We're all here just to discuss music toys and have a good time. No animals were hurt and our suggestions are non-binding for the OP... Here's my stance on the topic. In terms of tone, it's all personal preference. I would never tell anyone that a guitar sounds better than another. However I may explain why I prefer a certain guitar over another -- and in what context it applies. When it comes to fit/finish/playability, I agree that Taylors are great in that area (it's actually the brand's forte) but I also think that it's the number one issue for the less experienced/reputed custom builders. |

With all due respects, he has, he wants his son's name and birth date inlaid on the guitar.

I think the point trying to be made is "IF" the customization is solely related to inlay, you theoretically could get a new/used non-custom instrument and then get the inlay installed. And the unanswered (unless I missed it) inquiries were if the features the OP is looking for extend beyond merely inlay work.
However, the OP has made it clear he is looking for a new, custom instrument so the answer to the above questions is kind of irrelevant. And I totally get where the OP is coming from. Earlier this year I had a custom flamenco negra made from a luthier modelled after my Dad's original guitar after he passed away. Besides being a similar appearance (which I could have found off-the-shelf), the only other personalization was memorial label inside the guitar. I technically could have bought an off the shelf guitar (cheaper) that had the look and just pasted the label in, but that definitely wouldn't be nearly as special to me. The inlay the OP is looking for is essentially just a more "involved" label being applied. Later Rob |

I think the OP has gotten the info he wanted and for some reason apparently we are unable to discuss this issue without animosity. Thread closed.
